My 4 year old wants a mobile phone,
 

And it has to be pink!
When I asked her why, she said " So I can call Nana when i'm out".
So should I get her one or not?
This has been going on for a few days now.
Instinct is telling me not to, and if I did allow it, she would be supervised.
What are your opinions?

She doesn't need one - if she's supervised let her use yours.
Instinct is always a good one to follow

Hope it helps

Gone are the days when kids were happy to be out playing and just having fun.

Now its all ipods, laptops, mobile phones and games consoles...


God I'm feeling old :(

What's more amazing is you have to ask the question! :)

Personally I`d wait til she`s a bit older Ste. I can`t see why a four year old would need a mobile as like Quedos says she`ll be supervised at all times and if she wants to ring her nan a far cheaper option is for her to use yours.... a four year old will not hang up, she`ll chat on and on and once she understands the buttons there`ll be no stopping her.

I feel we`re sometimes too quick to make young children "miniature adults" and i`d also be concerned about the potential risk of radiation. She might start off small scale but once you`ve initiated her into the use of mobile phones she`ll want a newer and better one each year so i`d hang on to your bank balance for now :D

I remember when I first got a mobile phone and my parents stupidly had it on contract... needless to say after 3 months in a row of £700 bills they decided I didnt need one for a few more years.
